Fudge

Who doesn't like fudge? I have never actually made fudge before because my mom or my mother in law always do for the Holidays. I have made lots of other candy but I thought I would give it a try. It turned out so good. I happened to have the recipe my Mother in Law uses so I used that. I guess it is the See's Fudge recipe and it was really straight forward and easy. I think anyone could make it. So if you are a fudge lover give this recipe a try.Fudge4 cups sugar1 can evaporated milk(normal size can)Bring to a boil and boil for 6 minutes stirring constantly. Dump in:1 (12 oz) pkg. semi sweet chocolate chips1 (12 oz) pkg. milk chocolate chips2 sticks REAL butter1 T. vanillaChopped nuts if desiredMix well or until the chocolate is melted and well combined. Pour into a tin foil lined or well greased 9x13 inch pan and refrigerate until set. For Peanut butter fudge. Follow the recipe above but omit 1 stick of butter and add 2 cups of creamy peanut butter.

My pictures aren't the greatest but believe me this is just as yummy as any over priced fudge you can get at a candy store. Actually I think it is better to tell you the truth!!

This sounds wonderful...do you just boil it for 6 minutes or do you watch for a certain temperature? Have you made the PB version? If so...I'm assuming you omit all of the chocolate and use the PB instead? please e-mail me.
